About this map

Washington Creek and Chicken Creek flow through this section of Douglas County, defining a rural landscape shaped by long-standing agricultural communities. Small settlements like Lone Star in the northwest and Worden along the southern edge anchor the area, connected by a precise grid of county roads. The density of burial grounds, including Colyer Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Flory Cemetery, provides significant genealogical touchpoints for the region's family histories.

The eastern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Pleasant Grove and the private Flory Airport, while the headwaters of West Fork Tauy Creek and Eightmile Creek drain the surrounding fields. The road network, largely composed of numbered routes like N 800 Rd and E 1000 Rd, reflects the systematic development of the Kansas prairie into a productive agricultural corridor between larger regional centers.
